What Is VirtualBox? VirtualBox is virtual machine software that allows you to be able to use an operating system, such as Ubuntu, within another operating system, such as Windows 7. While there are other ways to use multiple operating systems on the same computer, such as dual-booting (where you select the operating system to be used while starting the computer), using virtual machine software is perhaps the most popular method. One of the reasons VirtualBox is one of the most popular ways to use multiple operating systems on one computer is that it is both Free and free. This means it is free of cost and is open-source software. Another thing that makes using software like VirtualBox a popular choice over dual-booting is that you can use multiple operating systems at the same time. For example, if you were playing a video game in Windows and came up with a great addition to some code you're writing in Ubuntu, all you would have to do is open VirtualBox, boot into your Ubuntu vi...

VirtualBox is easy-to-use software that allows you to use multiple operating systems simultaneously. As different operating systems have their pros and cons, using virtual machine software allows computer users the ability to have all the benefits! Many video games are written to work with Windows only, and Linux is well-known for its ease of use and is extremely popular among programmers. Because of this, many Windows users choose to install a Linux distribution on VirtualBox. VirtualBox is also great for users who just want to try out a different operating system before committing to a day-long format! In fact, many VirtualBox users have a number of virtual machines installed for a variety of purposes, whether it is just to try a new operating system, keep things organized/separated, or to hide files from others using their computer (as each virtual machine can be password-protected.) This tutorial will show you how to install Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions, o...

  There are many reasons why you might consider installing Linux. With regular updates (including kernel updates), Linux is very secure. It also comes at zero cost to the user. It is completely free and open source. There are a number of distributions for users to choose from, so there is an option for everyone. This guide will show you how to install Linux Mint. Before beginning, you'll need a few things. If you have important files saved on your computer, make sure to back them up, so you don't lose them. You'll also need a copy of Linux Mint saved as an ISO. If you're going to run Mint on a virtual machine, you can just save the iso on your computer. If you're going to do a complete format, you'll want to burn an image of Mint. Let's get started! Booting into Linux for the First Time To get your installation started, insert the Mint disc into your CD/DVD drive and restart your computer. When your computer starts, it'll automatically boot into Mint...
